Riverlea is not a Worthington neighborhood yet...
In 'Riverlea a step closer to being annexed by Worthington', Dean Narciso of the Columbus Dispatch writes of the steps in the annexation process the village will go through.
Riverlea is not a Worthington neighborhood
It's hard sometimes to remember that Riverlea is not a Worthington neighborhood. Riverlea is a separate village on the Olentangy River surrounded by Worthington on three sides... kinda sorta. Riverlea is not quite rectangular.
Until recently our MLS area (the Columbus Board of REALTORS multiple listing service ) had an area which was City of Worthington and the Village of Riverlea. MLS areas were done away with recently. Riverlea was lumped in with the City of Worthington while other areas in the Worthington City School District in the City of Columbus and unincorporated areas were in different MLS areas. In the 1990s Riverlea was in an MLS area for unincorporated areas of northern Franklin County. It was in an MLS area with much of Worthington Hills, Worthington Estates and other little pockets of homes outside the corporation limits of Columbus or Worthington.
Life in the Village of Riverlea
Riverlea has a Worthington mailing address... so do other neighborhoods not in the City of Worthington too, Riverlea is in the 43085 zip code. So are some Columbus neighborhoods along the west side of the Olentangy River.. in the 43085 zip code. There are neighborhoods north of 270 in the city of Columbus in the zip code too.
Riverlea is in the Worthington City School District and so are other neighborhoods in the City of Columbus and Perry and Sharon Townships.
Riverlea has Worthington police and fire service. Riverlea looked at contracting with the Sharon Township Police a few years back as I recall.
